2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · EF60 GVK

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-16 identified three issues: an inoperative offside registration plate lamp, front brake pads wearing thin, and front brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for braking components. The 2025 MOT listed slightly distorted front wheels and a damaged offside rear tyre, while the 2024 MOT noted rear axle swivel pin wear and a steering knock. Earlier entries from 2023 and 2022 highlighted tyre wear, corroded coil springs, and brake disc issues. A recurring pattern of brake-related defects, including thin pads, worn discs, and corrosion on suspension components, is evident. Corrosion of coil springs appeared in four consecutive MOTs (2022–2026), indicating persistent exposure to moisture or poor road conditions. Tyre wear and damage also recurred, with multiple advisories about tyres nearing legal limits and cracking. While some issues like brake discs and coil springs were addressed in later MOTs, the 2026 report introduced a new lamp failure, suggesting ongoing electrical or maintenance oversight. The trend shows stable but persistent issues rather than worsening. Brake and suspension components have consistently required attention, but no major failures or safety-critical defects were recorded.
